One of the things that probably killed it was Google enforcing people to use their real names on there. Which of course affected also commenting on YouTube as well.

I quite liked Google+ overall. Would have been good to have a proper competitor to Facebook.

I never had my real name on it. Someone said it was based on the real name field of your email address, but I also never had my real name in that.

Sometimes when I leave google reviews, the business owner will respond and be like "Thanks for the 5 star review, Firstname!"

Ive been using Firstname Lastname since I was born, which was 01/01/1900.
